Global Console overview

The Global Console is a collection of many consoles that together enable administrators to manage VMware Smart Assurance Domain Managers and Global Managers.

You will use the following three consoles to complete the configuration and administration tasks required to set up a VoIP Availability Manager deployment:

• Domain Manager Administration Console

  Enables administrators to manage Domain Managers and to discover topology.

• Global Manager Administration Console

  Enables administrators to configure the Global Manager (for example, to set up connections to underlying Domain Managers, to enable map types that are disabled by default, or to enable client tools and server tools).

• Polling and Thresholds Console

  Enables administrators to control periodic polling and to set thresholds for polled data, and to specify access credentials.
